If your looking at MK5 GTI get an Edition 30.

MK2 Leon Cupra as I said above look for a facelift one 2009+ will have a flat bottomed steering wheel, chunkier mirrrors etc. There was a slight update to the engine.
Quite hard to get hold of an Edition 30. The Seat looks like a Golf R32, same BHP, could be an option, any issues with these?

Difference is the R32 is a 3.2 V6 but not super tuneable unless throwing ££££ at it, although they do sound amazing.

Cupra get a decent map on it and your into 300bhp straight away.

That's true. I will see what other options are available before sending them over.

Focus ST 2.0t or 2.5t
Fiesta ST
Megane 265

A Golf or Civic wouldn't get a look in for me.

Not keen on a Renault he said. Fiesta ST is out of his price range. Likes the look of a Corsa VXR. Said he will look at a ST Focus.
